World’s Most Epic Beards From 2015 World Beard And Moustache Championships

The 2015 World Beard And Moustache Championships, held in the town of Leogang in the Austrian mountains, is back with more epic beards and moustaches to marvel at. Over 300 bearded and moustachioed men from 20 different countries descended on this small alpine town to strut their stuff.

Contestants compete in 18 categories across three divisions; Moustaches, Partial Beards and Full Beards. Each category features three prizes for the best facial hair. If you love what you see from this year’s contestants, make sure you see the contestants from the 2014 world and 2013 national U.S. championships as well.

Austrian photojournalist Jan Heitfleisch took countless photos at the event, and he didn’t just feature the winners – they’re all worth checking out! If you’re looking for facial hair inspiration, read on. To compete next year, check out the championship organization’s website.
